    Hennessy Bug Net Expansion Question

    I first bought a Yukon Hammock with webbing on two sides of the bug net to expand it. Like this:



    I love my Hennessy, but find the built in ridgeline doesn't keep the bug net as high or out of my face as much as I liked with the Yukon. Any ideas on how to possibly easily outfit the Hennessy with some type of Presidential Solution to expand the bug net out so when I'm sleeping at an angle, its pulled out of the way more? Thanks

    I'm thinking you could sew some nylon loops on it. But be careful with the tension. My experience with HH is when strung tight, there was not a lot of slack on the bug net at the top or sewn along the sides. So pulling it out more could cause some seams to tear. Maybe it's just the angle of your photo but the Yukon hammock looks like it has spreader bars - at least one. So that's a different cut than the triangle run of the HH net. There are 3rd party rectangular nets. But if you don't use spreader bars, you will need more trees. What I'm saying is - it sounds like you'd like your triangle net (on the HH) to fit like a rectangle net (on the Yukon). Not sure you can get there from here.
